Cowardly Media


David Gregory of NBC hails himself as brave because he asks rude and beligerent questions at daily press briefings. But, NBC won't show cartoons of the Mohammed.
They all say that they're being respectful of religious beliefs, but that didn't prevent them from publishing pictures of Piss Christ.
One newspaper has admitted the real reason - fear.

''Our primary reason," the editors confessed, is ''fear of retaliation from . . . bloodthirsty Islamists who seek to impose their will on those who do not believe as they do . . . Simply stated, we are being terrorized, and . . . could not in good conscience place the men and women who work at the Phoenix and its related companies in physical jeopardy. As we feel forced, literally, to bend to maniacal pressure, this may be the darkest moment in our 40-year-publishing history."

Give them credit. Except for those very few news outlets that showed the pictures, confessing cowardice is probably the most courageous act I've seen the MSM. Certainly beats David Gregory's hissing fits.
